Description of App StoryKit is a digital storytelling app for iPhones or iPads. It incorporates photos, voice recording, and even drawing to allow users to create a multi-dimensional “story.” StoryKit’s design is simple and clean, making it easily accessible to a variety of ages. Its capabilities in the classroom are endless, for both instructors and learners. However, StoryKit can also be used in non-educational settings as a way to document personal experiences and share them with others. StoryKit allows the user to easily share his/her project by uploading the “story” to the StoryKit server and issuing the user a private web address which can be emailed or shared on social media sites.

Constraints of App
Not necessarily the best quality images or best aesthetic presentation overall
Not always user friendly since it’s done through a mobile device and the interface is meant to be viewed on the app itself, rather than online
Photos must be on the device
Sharing capabilities are limited and the "shared version" of the story is not as engaging as the actual app version
